of VP is a Third Way wet dream - but that would not get me to support Clinton. That would be so fucking silly. Like Warren would be influencing legislation.

...my considerable respect for her would evaporate like a drop of water on Mercury.

So start evaporating.

Elizabeth signed a paper, along with every other female in the Senate, that urged Hillary to run.

Warren was fairly new in the Senate. Of course she'd sign such a benign letter.

Warren hasn't endorsed Hillary. I think that speaks volumes.

She's also spoken out against Hillary and put the spotlight on Hillary voting for a bankruptcy bill after she had taken Wall Street campaign contributions.

Elizabeth Warren and Hillary Clinton are like night and day politically. But the Hillary Camp just has to go to the Washington Post and say:

1.) We're not picking you for VP Elizabeth
2.) You're inferior views on Wall Street don't mesh with your superior viewpoints
3.) Ok, we'll pick you as a last resort to unite the party, but only if we feel we have to.

I think it's clear that there is no harmony between these two! LOL! This is what Warren gets for failing to endorse Hillary!

'Warren was fairly new in the Senate. Of course she'd sign such a benign letter.'

Oooh. So would you describe her as a 'weathervane?'

Clinton and her tactics as bullying.

That letter has been repeatedly used by Clinton fans. Which is exactly why Clinton employs such tactics.

"Look! Look! Look at Elizabeth's signature on the letter! She said she liked me!"

Give it up.

You know that agreeing on some things is not the same as an endorsement. And saying she hopes she runs for president isn't either.

Bernie agrees with Clinton on things too.

She may well still endorse Clinton, just to do her part to move things along.

But there are obviously reasons she has not endorsed her.

Warren is needed in the senate. Wasting time as VP would be a huge loss.

She has made it abundantly clear that she wants to remain a US Senator. Her record there attests to her awesome capabilities.

So why even propose that she either be offered or accept VEEP???

First, it is a really, really bad idea to take a budding Democratic Senate leader away from her elected office in her first term. What gain would such a thing accomplish other than forever depriving the country of such a putatively great US Senator?

To state otherwise is delusional.

We all know that the WaPo is a PR tool for Clinton. Whenever she wants her talking points out there, the WaPo is a great way to publicize exactly what she wants to say.

First off, What makes Clinton think that Elizabeth Warren would ever agree to be Hillary's VP? Warren hasn't even endorsed her! LOL!

Secondly, This article insults Elizabeth Warren several times--and uses those insults to justify why Clinton won't pick Warren. This is Clinton's way of demeaning Warren for not endorsing her. This is payback on the national stage. Because Clinton won NY, she thinks she's got the election wrapped up and this is what she does to people, when she's got power--or perceived power. She's a bully.

Thirdly--Does Clinton really believe that any VP pick could unify the Democratic party? Now she's insulting Sanders supporters! OMG...is she for real? I wouldn't vote for Clinton is she picked Bernie! I would assume the pick was a ploy and I wouldn't trust that she would ever listen to Bernie. There isn't a VP pick that Clinton would make--that would sway me.

The Clinton camp and their media mouthpieces are so off-the-rails out of touch with what is happening in the Democratic party. It has fractured. There is a San-Andreas-like political fault that exists now in the Democratic party. The Establishment is on one side. The anti-establishment is on the other.

No promises, no mea culpas, no "let's get unified!" speeches and no vice-presidential pick will make one iota of difference.

God, if this article doesn't epitomize the Clinton hubris and bullying tactics, I don't know what does. What a joke.

And Massachusetts would have to elect another goddamn Senator and that fucking vulture Scott Brown doesn't need another chance at representing this state.

No, if she's the nominee she needs someone young, charismatic, and friendly with the left--everything she isn't. Sadly, there aren't a whole lot of choices in that regard. Tim Kaine's too establishment (and too suspect on reproductive rights), O'Malley's toxic with black voters, and if she picks Cuomo there's going to be a full-scale revolt because he's basically her clone.

The only nominee I can think of that makes sense is the former HUD secretary, Castro (either Julian or Joaquin--whichever twin it was).

Economics is her biggest strength by far, and she has a deep understanding of regulatory issues and the organizational dysfunction that can obtain in large bureaucracies. She could be an excellent future President but I think the best path to that lise through a stint in the cabinet.

She's likelier to pick Marco Rubio.

or be more popular than her.

and i don't believe warren would accept if asked either. they are too different.
